Off to Singapore, but leaving my chewing gum at home

A few months back Michael injured his wrist in a really spectacular fall in a treacherous local parking lot.
Recently a few doctors examined his wrist.
The result? We're leaving for Singapore on Sunday and will be there about a week for arthroscopic surgery*.

Why Singapore? Because the weather is lovely of course. That and apparently it is best to leave mainland China for this kind of surgery. Apparently Singapore is the place most of the wealthy Chinese folks go for technologically advanced procedures, and since both Michael and Cara are all about fitting in, that's where we're going to go also. In addition, it's a lot easier getting to Singapore than to, let's pick somewhere random, say, the United States for example. And don't forget the lovely weather.

Another exciting item is that this is the first trip to Singapore for either of us so we are hoping to get at least some chance to look around and try things out.

We are not sure what our computer access will be like, so there may not be another post for a while.

In summary - We're going to Singapore! Yay!
Michael will likely be getting surgery. Booooo!
There should be some really fantastic Indian ingredients available for kitchen restocking. Yay!
(The Yays! have it and we are excited to be going.)

You'll probably hear from us in a little over a week. Take care everyone.

*The word "arthroscopy" comes from two Greek words: 'arthro,' meaning "joint," and 'scope,' meaning "look." Simply, arthroscopic surgery is a means to look inside a joint. - Just in case you were curious.

I wish speedy healing for Michael and a good trip for you both.

I was in Singapore for 29 hours once. I did a little walking tour of the city. The malls are the greatest place to go because they're air conditioned, which, when it's outrageously hot is a huge bonus!
